Chapter 100: Enthronement
In the early morning, the mournful sound of low 'fan' music sounded over Winlington.
Messages from the palace confirm a tragedy that occurred three days ago - the "great" Emperor of Reims, His Majesty Stricker VI, was seriously injured in assassination and died.
He also died with his empress, his three concubines, four sons, and a large number of retinue warriors, including the pinnacle powerhouse, Lord Hampton, the god of war of the moonlight. The lucky survivors were Prince Miyea and Princess Avril.
After the city of Royo, the Reims Empire was hit hard.
Sadness and anger pervaded the city, and in the palace, a ceremony was underway for the coronation of a new king.
Unlike in the past, this time, the coronation of the new emperor was not carried out in the temple of the Holy Spirit of the church, and the new emperor gave up the right to receive God's guidance and favor. Prince Mieya, who is about to ascend the throne, announces that he will adopt the ancient royal etiquette to crown himself.
As the only Baron William Harden who knew how to preside over this ancient etiquette, he was promoted to earl by the line of fire.
Such an honor can almost be seen as a sign of the resurgence of the Harden family.
Ancient rituals and rituals are quite cumbersome, especially when the old monarch dies and the new monarch succeeds to the throne, there must be a transition procedure. First of all, a eulogy should be read to commemorate the exploits of the deceased old emperor and preach his greatness, and then a memorial to introduce the new monarch to all officials and clarify the virtue and prestige of the new monarch. And then there was the grand coronation.
Miyea himself, dressed in royal robes, walked all the way from the palace square to the nave, where he made sacrifices and then entered the main hall to proclaim the responsibilities of the new monarch and make a great wish, before he could take the crown himself.
After the successful coronation, Miyea will re-canonize and appoint subordinate officials.
It was a political reshuffle, and all officials, whether they were retained in their original posts or transferred to new posts, were appointed by Miyea himself.
This is the most important thing in the ancient ritual: the first important thing after the new king ascends the throne is to consolidate his own power.
For Mieya, perhaps this was an important reason why he chose the ancient rituals, after all, he was too young to control most of the power in the court, and he took this opportunity to carry out a great purge of the power apparatus that would help him rule in the future.
But the Church of the Holy Spirit has nothing to do about it.
Hamilton participated in the assassination of Stricker VI, and too many people saw the brilliance of the "sacrifice" in the sky above Meteor Avenue, which is a fact that the Church cannot deny.
If nothing happens, Miyea will send a note of condemnation and statement to the Church of the Holy Spirit after her accession to the throne, and the Church of the Holy Spirit will be in a huge political passivity.
In this way, Miyea abandoned the church and turned to ancient rites for coronation, and no one had anything to say.
Moreover, the Holy Spirit Temple collapsed, and the church could not do it even if it wanted to coronate Miya.
The formal ceremony was supposed to take at least a month to prepare, but Miyea didn't want to wait that long. He only gave Earl Harden three days, and everything became simple. The Earl of Harden painstakingly sliced one procedure after another from his ceremonial procedures, until he was convinced that all the problems would be resolved in three days.
In this respect, our Earl Harden may be dull, stubborn, stubborn, and incalculent, but at least not too stupid.
On the spacious royal hall, the officials of the Reims Empire gathered here.
They are waiting for the arrival of their new emperor, Mieya.
Avril stood at the window in the corner of the side hall, from which she could see most of the officials outside, most of them nervous, obviously worried about their careers.
Since getting the news that night, Avril has cried a total of four times. After that, Avril had fallen silent, and until now, she looked like an iceberg, her cold eyes showing no expression.
"My brother is very 'good', isn't he?" she said without looking back.
Xiu Yi nodded: "Yes, he has not yet ascended the throne, and he has already grasped the most important thing, and through this, he has controlled most of his subjects. In this respect, he will be a successful and qualified politician. ”
"He is also a ruthless emperor. Avril said.
Even if no one told her, she could guess what was going on. Hamilton may have attacked the Emperor, but he would never be foolish enough to allow the Church to make enemies like the Empire. There are always people who make trouble, and the one who usually makes the most profit is the one behind it.
"Anyway, he still cares about you. ”
"Maybe it's because I'm a 'woman' and won't get in his way. ”
"It's not good for you, Avril. Huey sighed.
"But I don't have to live in a world where I don't know anything anymore. Huey, Padget's story made me understand that not everyone who listens to you is a person who cares about you, nor is it a person who is loyal to you on the surface, the world is never as simple as it seems on the surface, and many times, we have to learn to see through the hearts of others. Avril said sadly.
In the distance, Miyea had already entered the main hall, and under the auspices of Count Harden, loud music sounded, singing a grand song of blessing for the new emperor.
Walking up the high platform, Miyea raised her hands and the music stopped.
Mieya's face showed infinite sadness: "My subjects, just yesterday our great emperor, my most beloved father, died. And so he left us, on the day of his birth......"
"As a monarch, His Majesty Stricker is dedicated to his duties, cares for his people, and is diligent in the affairs of state. Under his rule, the Lance Empire has grown into the most powerful nation in the Northern Continent, and under his leadership, our people live happily and well-being!"
Miya's voice became 'excited' and high-pitched: "But such a great emperor was assassinated by the Holy Knights sent by the Holy Spirit Church in the most shameless way!
Officials began to get 'agitated'.
The officials may not know about Emperor Stricker's death, but they know best about the Holy Knights' siege of the theater. In a way, the Holy Knights' siege of the theater can be interpreted both as the capture of Huyglaire and as the need to assassinate the Emperor to control the situation.
Miyea cried out: "We honor God and obey God's will, but that doesn't mean that God's spokesman can trample on worldly power." We are the most devout people of the gods, never betraying our faith, never giving up on our faith, even in the most perilous moments for our nation. But look at those servants of God, what are they doing?!"
"They have built up their own armies with the hard-earned money of their people, and they are above worldly power, squandering our wealth, trampling on our dignity, and harvesting our lives! They are a bunch of scum, a bunch of parasites that have been corrupted and degenerated, they have long ceased to be servants of God, but a bunch of godlike sticks who go around in the name of God!" Miyea shouted accusations.
This shouting frightened all the officials.
Miyea glanced at everyone and shouted, "Don't you believe what I'm saying?
Miyea casually 'drawn' a long sword, and the brilliant light filled the hall, soaring into the sky.
"It's a brilliant sword!" someone recognized the holy sword that exuded a strong divine aura.
Avril quickly turned her head and glared at Xiu Yi angrily, "You lent it to him?"
Xiu Yi smiled helplessly.
As early as yesterday at noon, Richard had a negotiation with Xiu Yi on behalf of Mieya, and at that time he had already revealed Mieya's idea of becoming an emperor and asked for Xiuyi's help.
Hamilton's arrival gave Miyea a chance to launch early, but that didn't mean Huey was useless.
On the contrary, he is more useful.
At this moment, Miyea held the Sword of Glory high and shouted, "You saw it, right? Yes, this is the artifact that the Church of the Holy Spirit has been enshrined in the headquarters of the Church of the Brilliant Sword. For hundreds of years, they claimed to have three artifacts, but now you see, it's a hoax! The Church has never had a sword of brilliance! They are not the Church of the Holy Spirit representing the gods at all, they are a bunch of liars. Perhaps it is for this reason that Hamilton chose to assassinate our great and respected Emperor. They want to kill people and kill people, even His Majesty the Emperor will not let go!"
It's nonsense, but it sounds likely. The magic sent Mieya's voice far away, not only to the palace officials, but even to some of the people of Winrington.
When they heard that the Church of the Holy Spirit was offering an artifact in the guise of a fake sword, everyone was stunned.
Miyea was still speaking loudly about the sins of the Church of the Holy Spirit, looking indignant.
Even Xiu Yi had to admit that the new emperor had an absolute talent for oratory and acting.
And his methods are quite beautiful, with the help of the accusation of the Holy Spirit Church, he can effectively divert the public's suspicion of him, exonerate himself from the charge of usurpation, and at the same time can also 'stir up' everyone's hatred and hatred.
At the same time, the Church of the Holy Spirit was charged with the assassination of the Reims monarch and was generally at a disadvantage.
The best thing is that the Church of the Holy Spirit did lie about the artifact, and Mieya, as the lord of a nation, accused the Church of the Holy Spirit of being a liar, and thus had indisputable authority.
In this case, it is no longer possible for the Holy Spirit Church to settle accounts with the Reims Empire, but instead bow to Miea and admit its mistakes.
The Temple of the Holy Spirit falls, Hamilton dies, the collapsed buildings can be rebuilt, the dead heroes can be retrained, but the lost reputation and the terrible storm that is coming must be eliminated immediately, otherwise the huge church that has stood for thousands of years is likely to be destroyed in a violent storm.
Miejah would have taken advantage of the death of the old emperor to prepare for war, but in the light of his current accession to the throne, it was not appropriate to rush into a war, but instead to use this opportunity to show his determination to demand benefits from the Church of the Holy Spirit, and at the same time to free himself from the constraints of some of the churches to a more costly bargain.
The Reims Empire has suffered heavy losses in the past year, but if the church is willing to bow its head, no matter how big the loss is, it can be made up for by the church.
From this point of view, Miyea made a big profit.
In addition, the true owner of the Sword of Splendor is Huy Glore, not Mieya. Therefore, the Church of the Holy Spirit will definitely vent all its anger on Xiuyi. In other words, Mieah receives benefits from the Church of the Holy Spirit, and Hue bears the wrath of the church on Mieya's behalf. Perhaps in the future negotiations with the Church of the Holy Spirit, Miyea will solemnly state that she will never shield Xiui in exchange for more benefits.
The most helpless thing is that Xiu Yi knew that this would be the result, but he did not have the right to refuse.
For one, he didn't care about the Holy Spirit Church at all. Second, Miea is Avril's older brother. The new monarch ascends the throne, eager to consolidate his power and exclude dissidents, and at the same time urgently needs to make some performance to prove himself.
In this case, how could Xiu Yi dismantle Mieya's platform.
So for Mieya, Hue definitely did him a big favor.
However, there is also an inevitable consequence of this, and that is that it is impossible for him to stay in the Reims Empire.
Avril clearly sensed the key, and she looked at Huey, "Huey, why, why did you do this, why did you help him?"
Xiui smiled wryly: "I didn't belong to Lance in the first place. Even if Miyea agrees to restore my reputation, it doesn't mean I'll stay here forever. I help him because he can do what I need him to do for me. This is a 'trade-in', a consensual 'trade'. ”
"But why are you willing to leave me...... Hmmm......"
Huey gagged Avril's lips with an affectionate 'kiss', leaving her speechless.
At this moment, the feeling of the world spinning filled Avril's heart, and she was completely 'fascinated' by Hue's tenderness.
A subtle soul energy penetrated deep into her mind, as if a voice was saying: Sleep, sleep.
Avril closed her eyes.
Huey gently lowered Avril down.
He beckoned, and a 'maid' and 'woman' ran over.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is tired, she needs a good rest, you guys are here to take care of him, don't disturb him. ”
"Yes, Lord Glare. ”
Outside the window, Miyea's speech has arrived, and the crowd is surging.
In the midst of the excitement of the people, Miyea climbed step by step to the high platform where the emperor's crown was placed, and put on the crown he had been waiting for for a long time.
The ministers celebrated.
A sneer of disdain tugged at the corner of Xiu's mouth.
Glancing affectionately at Avril, Huey kissed her cheek lightly, then took out a letter and stuffed it into Avril's arms.
With all this done, he walked out of the hall.
The new emperor has been crowned, the 'exchange' has been completed, the Dardanelles family will definitely have a brilliant take-off under the care of the emperor, and the Violet Song and Dance Troupe also no longer has to worry about future troubles, and everything has finally come to an end.
It's time to leave Winlington.
Compared to the vast lineup before coming, this time, Xiui will leave silently alone.
This made him feel a little reluctant in his heart, slightly sour.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall.
It's Bamela.
"Ma'am?" Huey was slightly stunned.
"Xiuy, you come with me. Bamela said.
With Xiu Yi and walking through the long corridor, Xiu Yi returned to the royal 'flower' garden.
He saw the beautiful little white room in the circle of 'flowers', and it was there that he and Mrs. Harden had that intimate encounter.
Bamela pushed open the 'door' of the small white room, and the interior was clean and fresh.
Huey was about to ask something, but Bamela suddenly said, "You're leaving, aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am, thank you for the help you have given me, and I apologize for the trouble I have caused you. ”
"You don't have to be in such a hurry. ”
"I ......"
Bamela turned around and pounced, 'kissing' Huey.
This sudden 'kiss' made Xiu Yi a little overwhelmed.
"Madame......"
"Help me, Huey, give me a pleasant memory. Bamela whispered as she lay down in Huey's arms.
"Ma'am. Huey understood. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "You know, I've always treated you as a mother. ”
Bamela's body trembled slightly, and it was clear that this answer had hurt her heavily.
But the next moment, Xiu Yi put his arms around Bamela's delicate body: "But I must admit to you that I also have a deep motherhood complex. ”
With a poof, Bamela laughed.
With a slight strain of the hand that Xiui had placed on Bamela's waist, he slowly placed her on the 'bed'.
"Rest assured, we have plenty of time to do what we want. Huey whispered in Bamela's ear, removing the cedar for Bamela......
